You're not going to use the Air Display for gaming, but for Photoshop 
work it's fine IMO. The great thing is that there is no real gamma 
change when your head moves a bit. That's what's bugged me about the 
laptop displays. I think there now is a profiling option that works 
with the Spyder 3 as well, but from what I have seen and heard it's 
not necessarily needed.

In any case, the iPad 2 screen is very good and I'm happy with the 
setup. I wish Lightroom had a separate moveable window for the image, 
as right now it's a bit of a contortion to edit with Lightroom on the 
iPad, but it is doable.
